For sure it's important thing, But if your target job is in international or multinational company, It will be preferred to know some Arabic so you can deal with your team work, And may be clients.

Being able to speak Arabic or even in the process of learning is a definite advantage but not a necessity. A lot of foreign Student get part time/ full time/ paid internships while being residents in Arab country. But if you don't speak Arabic, some sort of fluency in English most probably will be requested!
I think it is not necessary to learn Arabic language in Arabs countries because the foreign companies use always the translators from the same countries to make their life more suitable. And on the other hand you can use you’re most usable languages in the world and Arabs countries like English.
Not specifically Arab They know looking for work in the Arabic-speaking areas that the job seeker to think first about the place and the company that wants to work and function that inspired ..
